flash AIR app cannot load child swfs on publish to device

I have been struggling with this problem for WEEKS now and can't solve it. I have an flash AIR app (creative cloud, AIR 3.8) which is very simple: all it does is load external SWF movies on the click of a start button. It works FINE in test/PC but when I publish to device, the external swfs do not load.

Here is the code on the main timeline that calls the external swfs:

//start button

start_button_TRI_desmatosuchus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3,false,0,true);

import fl.display.ProLoader;

import flash.events.Event;

var fl_ProLoader_02:ProLoader;

var fl_ToLoad_02:Boolean = true;

function fl_ClickToLoadUnloadSWF_02_3(event:MouseEvent):void

{

          if(fl_ToLoad_02)

          {

                    fl_ProLoader_02 = new ProLoader();

                    fl_ProLoader_02.load(new URLRequest("dinofilms/triassic_desmatosuchus.swf"));

                    fl_ProLoader_02.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete_02)

                    addChild(fl_ProLoader_02);

                    fl_ProLoader_02.x = 0;

                    fl_ProLoader_02.y = 144;

          }

          else

          {

                    if (fl_ProLoader_02!=null) {

                              removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);

                              fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();

                              fl_ProLoader_02 = null;

                    }

          }

          fl_ToLoad_02 = !fl_ToLoad_02;

}

function onComplete_02(e:Event):void {

          e.currentTarget.content.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);

}

function OEF_02(e:Event):void {

          if (e.currentTarget.currentFrame==e.currentTarget.totalFrames) {

                    e.currentTarget.stop();

                    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,OEF_02);

                    removeChild(fl_ProLoader_02);

                    fl_ProLoader_02.unloadAndStop();

                    fl_ProLoader_02 = null;

          }

}

I am calling about 30 different movies on 30 different frames, so that's why I am using tags like "proLoader_01" so I don't duplicate them. All the external swfs are of course listed in the included files too.

I would really appreciate the assistance, I am a reluctant coder!
